TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I like to have fun at work and I want to pass along a love of science to my students. I do my best to model curiosity and wonder everyday!
Over the years, I have worked as a curriculum developer and as a teacher of students of varying abilities across many scientific disciplines and grades. I have worked with kids ranging from k-12 in traditional school settings and summer and after-school programs. My full-time jobs have been working with middle school and high school students in traditional school settings in classes ranging from alternative programs to AP. I have all spent time working with students from K-12 in summer and after-school programs. Additionally, I have conducted a variety of trainings for program leaders and line staff in summer and after-school programs.
